2 Authorities on Preparedness Policy and Doctrine Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (P.L ) Sec National Preparedness Goal Sec. 644 Establishment of a National Preparedness System Sec. 645 National Planning Scenarios Sec. 646 Target Capabilities and Preparedness Priorities Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-8 National Preparedness The national preparedness goal will establish measurable readiness priorities and targets that appropriately balance the potential threat and magnitude of terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies with the resources required to prevent, respond to, and recover from them. It will also include readiness metrics and elements that support the national preparedness goal including standards for preparedness assessments and strategies, and a system for assessing the Nation's overall preparedness to respond to major events, especially those involving acts of terrorism. 2

3 National Preparedness Guidelines (NPG) Sets forth the vision, policy, and doctrine to enhance capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from all-hazards Outlines steps for capability-based preparedness through asking: o How prepared do we need to be? o How prepared are we? o What should we do to close the gaps? Incorporates risk information and risk management within preparedness decision making Identifies roles and responsibilities for entities at all levels along each step along the preparedness cycle Establishes readiness targets and priorities across 37 capabilities and identifies eight (8) National Priorities 3

4 What the TCL and Preparedness Cycle means to you Evaluate/Improve Provides structure and content for the Comprehensive Assessment System (under development), State Preparedness Reports, and the GAP Analysis Helps characterize corrective action processes and improvement plans Exercise Provides structure and content for HSEEP Exercise and Evaluation Guides Informs objectives for conducting exercises under the National Exercise Program Train Identifies learning objectives for course development and course selection Identifies requisite personnel competencies National Preparedness Guidelines TCL The NPG and TCL drive decisions throughout the preparedness cycle Plan Provides content and objectives for planning guides and technical assistance, e.g., CPG 101 Provides target outcomes to plan against Organize/Equip Provides structure and content for the Cost -to-capabilities Analysis (under development) Identifies equipment and personnel needs using NIMS Resource Typing & Equipment Lists 4

5 NPG/TCL Role in Preparedness Programs Example: Exercise Evaluation Guides Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment (SAMPLE from an actual Exercise Evaluation Guide) Activity 4: Provide Treatment Activity Description: Provide medical treatment appropriate to the patient s injuries and the incident. Tasks Observed (check those that were observed and provide comments). Note: Asterisks denote Performance Measures and Performance Indicators associated with a task. Please record the observed indicator for each measure 4.1 (Res.C1 a 6.1) Task/Observation Keys Establish Immediate, Minor, and Delayed Treatment areas. Coordinate with Medical Branch/Group Command/Tactical Operations Clearly mark and identify each treatment area Assign treatment teams by area Time of Observation/Task Completion Time: Task Completed? Fully [ ] Partially [ ] Not [ ] N/A [ ] Teams report number of ill/injured patients by area Time that ill/injured patients receive initial treatment by appropriately credentialed on-scene medical personnel Target IAW federal, state, or local policy; in absence of policy: within 30 minutes Actual 5

6 NPG/TCL Role in Preparedness Programs Example: Grant Investment Justifications (Excerpts from the FY2009 Homeland Security Grant Program) Question Scoring Criteria II.B. Strategy Homeland Security Strategy goals and objectives: Explain how this Investment supports the State/territory/Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy goals and objectives. Please reference relevant goal and objective numbers in the State/territory/Urban Area Homeland Security Strategy. II.C. Strategy Target Capabilities: From the drop-down boxes, select one primary and up to four secondary Target Capabilities that this Investment supports. For the primary Target Capability selected, provide an explanation of how it is supported by this Investment. II.D. Strategy National Priorities: From the drop-down boxes, select the National Priority(ies) that this Investment supports; up to four may be selected. Response provides linkage between the Investment and Homeland Security Strategy goals and objectives Response demonstrates how the Investment will support the Homeland Security Strategy goals and objectives Response provides linkage between the Investment and the selected primary Target Capability Response demonstrates how the Investment will support the selected primary Target Capability The information provided is not scored as an individual section; however, it is considered in the Comprehensive Investment Score 6

7 Goals for Updating the TCL Update content to reflect current policies, guidance, capabilities Provide flexibility to account for community-specific risks and circumstances Establish measurable targets for planning and assessment purposes Provide an objective means to justify investments and priorities Provide strong links among applicable standards, Federal policies and guidance, and terminologies Promote mutual aid and resource sharing Help integrate programs across the preparedness lifecycle 7

8 Target Capabilities Under National Review From the original 37 capabilities, the following four (4) have been drafted and circulated for comment: Multi-Agency Coordination/Emergency Operations Center Management Mass Transit Protection Incident Command Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)/Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Rescue FEMA convened Technical Working Groups comprised of individuals from all Regions to develop the first set of draft Target Capabilities being circulated for a wider national review 8

9 Draft Content Target Capabilities A Target Capability comprises three charts: Classes, Target Outcomes, and Resource Elements 9

10 Chart #1: Classes Jurisdictions or groups of jurisdictions are initially grouped into classes based on primary risk factors, such as population and infrastructure (avoids one size fits all ) Jurisdictions may adjust their class designation based upon additional risk factors, as appropriate A jurisdictions may align to a different class for each capability depending on their unique characteristics Risk factors may differ for each Target Capability as appropriate 10

11 Chart #2: Target Outcomes Defines the critical few performance objectives for each capability that are measurable and outcome-focused Metrics are graduated by class Metrics utilize defined resource types or standards as much as possible Users can determine how best to accomplish the desired outcome based on their particular needs and resources (capability-based planning) 11

12 Chart #3: Resource Elements Guidance on plans, personnel/teams, equipment, training, and exercises to help meet and measure Target Outcomes each jurisdiction or entity determines how to achieve a target capability Identifies laws, standards, policies, and doctrine applicable to the capability Helps link the performance of activities along the preparedness cycle (e.g., assessments, planning guidance, exercise evaluation guides) 12

13 Common Impact questions from the TCL Update Individual capabilities will be implemented on a rolling basis as they are developed until the entire TCL is updated There are no new requirements on State, Tribal or local governments. TCL updates will be reflected within existing federal preparedness programs (e.g., grant investment justifications, planning guidance, exercise evaluation guides, assessments) The TCL provides guidance for building and measuring capabilities, it is not meant to prescribe how to perform operations, to be viewed as a standard, or to be viewed as an assessment tool Entities are not expected to deliver a capability by itself rather it is anticipated for capabilities to be met through mutual aid and regional collaboration. 13

14 Additional Capabilities Under Development Intelligence (almost complete) Planning Communication Risk Management Community Preparedness Counter Terror Investigation and Law Enforcement Critical Infrastructure Protection Epidemiological Surveillance and Investigation Critical Resource Logistics and Distribution Responder Safety and Health Emergency Public Safety and Security Animal Disease Emergencies (almost complete) Fire Incident Response Support Isolation and Quarantine Emergency Triage and Pre-Hospital Treatment Medical Surge Mass Prophylaxis Mass Care Structural Damage Assessment CBRNE Detection Explosive Device Response Operations Continuity (new) Mitigation (new)

15 Next Steps (public health/medical/ems capabilities) Coordinated partnership formed with HHS, DHS Office of Health Affairs, FEMA Grant Programs Directorate, NIMS Working Groups, Johns Hopkins PACER, and other entities to develop and vet drafts Synchronize the identification of goals and measures to fulfill the MMRS program requirements With HHS and OHA as the lead federal offices with subject matter expertise, identify technical working group members and begin the drafting process Circulate mature drafts broadly for review and comment Adjudicate comments with the technical working group and begin formal review and comment process

16 Next Steps FY 2009 Finalize updates to 6 Target Capabilities (4 already circulated for review and comment. Feedback is being sought from: State and local agencies through the FEMA Regions National Advisory Council National Homeland Security Consortium and other associations National Council on Disability Federal ESF Coordinators and Primary ESF Support Agencies Comments will be adjudicated with federal partner offices and agencies, NIMS Resource Typing Work Groups and Regional representatives prior to a posting upon the Federal Register for formal review Develop at least 12 additional draft Target Capabilities for review FY 2010 Update the remaining 37 Target Capabilities Issue finalized Capabilities on a rolling basis to replace their corresponding 2.0 Capabilities 16
